The fire reportedly originated in a storage facility near the park’s “Pirates of Batavia” ride, though the cause of the fire remains unknown.

Michael Mack, the park’s CEO, said on Twitter Saturday that the Batavia attraction had been “completely … lost” in the fire. Parts of the park’s Dutch- and Scandinavian-themed areas were also destroyed in the blaze.

The park, described as Germany’s largest and Europe’s second most popular theme park after Disneyland Paris, evacuated all its visitors after the fire broke out early on Saturday evening. Agence France-Presse said about 25,000 visitors were in the park when the blaze began.

The park thanked the support of fans and strangers who’d offered words of support in the blaze’s aftermath.

“Your messages and best wishes give us the strength to make every effort to return to normal operations” as soon as possible, the theme park said in a Sunday post on Twitter.

We briefly take a breath and want to seize the opportunity to thank you for the waves of sympathy reaching us throughout the net. Your messages and best wishes give us the strength to make every effort to return to normal operations asap. You are the best fans in the world! ☺️
